This story about a newly-elected Republican house member lying about basically every detail of his background is bonkers. Probably would have been a good idea for the Times to look into this before the election, though? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/19/nyregion/george-santos-ny-republicans.html
New York Republican George Santos’s Résumé Called Into Question

@mattficke This is exactly why I no longer trust big news media! They are not a news service or they would have informed their readers before he was elected!

@dooordah @mattficke Why doesn’t Santos dispute any of the NYTs claims of fraude? Since u probably won’t answer, I’ll tell why.
BC the NYT is credible & Santo’s is lying about everything! Why didn’t Rs do a better job off vetting this Russian asset?
